General

Unit type:

Bridge built in 1827 in Małapanew ironworks in Ozimek; it was the first iron suspension bridge in Europe.

The plant has been active for 250 years, and therefore unfettered access to the area is prohibited. Bridge can be seen from outside the fence (located approximately 30 metres from the gate).
